What Xu Xingchen was most worried about was the "requirement" of the pioneers for the alliance.

For humans and ship girls, even if the pioneers are not the real creator, they can be regarded as de facto mother civilization.

Most of the existing technologies of humans and ship-girl civilizations are inherited directly from pioneers.

After completing the final task, the pioneers immediately established contact.

Xu Xingchen was very worried at the time whether the pioneers would have new "tasks", which would be higher-level tasks far beyond the Galaxy.

Even if you have any dissatisfaction with the current ship girl civilization, suggestions and requirements for modification and adjustment.

Whether it is strength or morally speaking, it is difficult for the ship girl civilization to reject them.

Fortunately, it seems that they do not have any special requirements for themselves at the moment.

After basically relaxing, Xu Xingchen's curiosity rose, and the other party also said it, and he would answer some questions by the way.

So I asked directly:

"That, senior, what were you going to do when you left the Milky Way? Are you going to explore the universe?"

Ms. Galaxy smiled and shook her head and said:

“Yes, not, we are indeed going to explore the universe, but this is our method, not our purpose.

"Purely exploring space, discovering and finding more galaxies and planets, this thing has no meaning in itself to advanced civilizations.

"According to our initial analysis and subsequent experience, we can confirm that most areas of the universe are highly similar.

“Just like inside the Milky Way, it has nothing special about other than the small number of facilities we left behind.

"There may be differences in elemental content between a few stars, but after amplification to a fraction of the Milky Way, there will be no difference in different regions.

"The difference between space and matter is meaningless to zoom in between multiple galaxies, or even within a cluster of galaxies.

"If the facilities left by ordinary predecessors are not preserved in a special way, they will disappear during the billions of years of celestial bodies.

"If civilization is just for survival, it does not need to expand to the entire galaxy, nor does it need to leave the Milky Way where it was born.

"Our real purpose of leaving the Milky Way is to explore the laws of the universe, and to find the boundaries of the universe.

"Borders in space, ends in time, limits in dimensions, conceptual existence, and cosmic boundaries at different levels, we spend most of our time looking for them.

"During our exploration, the fleet arrived in a large number of galaxies and airspaces and discovered a large number of similar or extremely different civilizations.

“We try to connect with them, invite them to join our plan, and pursue the essence of the universe together, and that’s what we are doing after we leave the Galaxy.”

Xu Xingchen blinked his eyes. It is not difficult to understand the words of the pioneer Civilization Galaxy. This is indeed a pursuit of civilization at this level.

But listening to the other party's last words, Xu Xingchen immediately had new questions:

“For billions of years since you left, your fleet has been sailing and exploring?

"The civilization of the last era of the Galaxy mentioned in the information left to us that after the technology of civilization reaches a bottleneck, the resource consumption speed will gradually approach the speed of resource collection.

"At this time, they can only use a virtual world-like method to reduce their overall resource consumption. Many civilized battles in the Milky Way cannot be done, so they can only sleep.

"This also makes us feel the crisis, so we have been working hard to explore and build, trying to store more energy in an era of abundant collection capabilities.

"Seniors, how did you continue to explore for billions of years? Have you never encountered a bottleneck in development?"

Ms. Galaxy did not answer directly, but asked Xu Xingchen:

"You do understand this, but do you know why now?"

Xu Xingchen subconsciously told the logic he had learned before:

"It is because of the increase in productivity and the ability of life to transform the environment continues to improve, which in turn acts on the evolution of life, making the adaptability of life's environment constantly decrease.

"Performance has entered a bottleneck state due to technological bottlenecks, and the living environment cannot continue to improve, and life cannot return to its previous living environment.

"The limits of environmental adaptability and environmental transformation capabilities are constantly approaching, and the resource collection capabilities and consumption speeds are infinitely approaching. In the end, if you use all your strength, you can only barely survive."

Ms. Galaxy nodded slightly and explained in her guiding tone:

"Under the framework of the logic of the relationship between life and environment in the relatively early stage, the process and results of this judgment and analysis are basically correct.

"However, if placed under the framework of a larger law of the entire universe, this analysis is not completely correct.

"Have you ever considered that even if your environmental adaptability does not decrease, your survival expenses will naturally increase over time.

"The reason is that after putting the timeline on a billion-year cycle and looking at the overall environment of the entire universe, the overall environment of the universe is constantly deteriorating.

“Even if your adaptability does not decrease, you will need to spend extra energy to transform the environment you live in billions of years.

"At the same time, if your technological level remains unchanged and your resource collection ability remains unchanged, the resources you collect with the same energy will also decrease in billions of years.

"You may not be able to understand the logic at a higher level for the time being, but you can observe and confirm the continuous expansion of the universe.

"A simple increase in the distance between stars and galaxies can increase your consumption of cross-galaxy communication and resource acquisition.

"You must also understand the evolution cycle of stars. You know that there will be fewer and fewer stable main sequence stars in the universe, and more and more red giants, neutron stars, and white dwarfs.

"After tens of billions, all the stars of K-type and above will become neutron stars, white dwarfs and black holes, and the main sequence will only be red dwarfs. Can you live in such an era?

"After trillions of years, all red dwarfs will be extinguished and become white dwarfs or even black dwarfs. At that time, the universe will only have black holes, white dwarfs, and black dwarfs.

"At that time, the entire universe was pitch black and the temperature gradually approached absolute zero. Can your current technology allow you to survive comfortably in that era?"

Facing Ms. Galaxy's final question, Xu Xingchen slightly imagined the situation of the universe trillions of years later, and his expression and mood became a little depressed:

"That is, the actual situation is worse than what we learned earlier, so the obstacles to cosmic aging and the development of civilization are even more serious and irresistible than we imagined.

"So, seniors, how did you do it? In the cycle of at least eight billion years, you will always maintain the operation of the fleet and keep the technology improvement in investment and technology to fight environmental deterioration?"

Ms. Galaxy was silent for a second, and her tone returned to a relatively calm state:

“Our method is very simple, that is to explore and develop.

"Using the theory of the early stages of cosmic civilization to analyze, staying in the parent galaxy and going to other galaxies to explore, there is no essential difference, and they all use stellar resources.

“However, being self-contained and working behind closed doors is easy to fall into a bottleneck.

"Exploration and communication can promote the development of science and technology.

"We have never stopped. Although we have been in the history of nearly 10 billion years, our development momentum has never stopped completely."

Xu Xingchen's expression was a bit strange:

"In other words, development is the hard truth, and exploration and communication are the catalysts for development. If we want to fall into a bottleneck like other predecessors, we should learn from you.

"Don't stay in the Milky Way to earn your money, but go out decisively and explore the essential laws of the universe like you..."

Ms. Galaxy suddenly smiled when she heard this:

"That's not necessarily the case. If we complete the final research, then all the problems are no longer problems."
